    Well I'm back home after being half way to barber. I got in a crash/accident and had to come back home.

    So on the long slow trip home, I was thinking..

    I don't like Hayden Gillum at all. But we need to see and have more riders and more talent on the grid. I would absolutely like to see Attack Performance and yamaha put a 600 together and put Hayden Gillum on it for a year, then move him up to stk1000.

    $300k was what I heard to contest SBK from an independant rider

    Attack seems to not be doing to bad on that side of things..


    Not SBK. But SSP

    There's some offset in advertising dollars being easier to get for SBK though.

    MA should have the stats, but I'm guessing the amount of eyes on a SBK bike vs a SSP is 3x+. Not sure about SSTK due to the mixed classes.

    One of the biggest issues I've heard from people that want to field teams is that riders expect the teams to fully fund and find sponsors instead of working with the teams to do so.. not saying the people in the op are like that at all just saying that it's a factor in some people that don't have rides.

    If I was putting together a team of missing and available riders, I'd put Eslick and Jake Lewis on SBK and Gilliam and May in SSTk1000.
